Nurtures Local Talent
Mediacorp has launched Young Creators Project,
a talent development initiative to nurture and
grow Singapore's creative talent pool...

S

Development Authority (IMDA), the
initiative builds on Mediacorp's continuous
efforts to strengthen industry capability

creators across the ecosystem.
The Young Creators Project aims to provide
budding content creators with resources and
skills needed to bring their aspiring ideas to
life.
This includes funding support and

mentorship by industry experts, as well as
access to production resources such as
filming equipment, studio facilities and props.
Since last June, each group of the young
creators was paired with a mentor from
Mediacorp Studios. The mentor, either
an Executive Producer, Director, Writer
or Cameraman, offered valuable advice
and insights to the group, from the story
pitching process to the actual production
work-in-progress.

A total of 11 short films have been
produced by students from Ngee Ann
Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, and
Temasek Polytechnic, and are now available
on Toggle on http://toggle.sg/ycp for free
viewing.
Doreen Neo, Chief Content Officer,
Mediacorp, said: "The Young Creators Project
is one of the ways we are nurturing local
creative talent and providing the platforms for
them to showcase their work. We've gained
new perspectives from working with them
too. These students come with fresh ideas for
storytelling and are keen to experiment with
new formats."

"Nurturing the next generation of content
creators is a great way to encourage new
story ideas that will keep local public service
content fresh and relevant for Singapore
audiences, especially among the millennials.
IMDA is happy to support this Mediacorp
initiative, and we look forward to the
emergence of more innovative ideas by our
aspiring young talent."
Mr Leslie Tan, Course Chair for the
Diploma in Film, Sound & Video, Ngee Ann
Polytechnic, added: "Working alongside
Toggle and Mediacorp has been a great
learning experience for our students, from
their involvement in the pitch process to
their access to mentorships and professional
services. This collaboration has allowed
them to get their original content onto an
established online platform and to find a
greater audience for their films."
